Energy efficiency pays—it results in utility cost savings, potentially higher tenant demand, and a better market position for your property. In order to make operational improvements and retrofits that lead to these benefits, you and your team need energy data. But how do you access this data? After you have the data, what types of analysis will help you make wise investments that improve property operations?

The course is appropriate for real estate managers of all experience levels and property teams, including maintenance staff and building engineers. Energy and building technology consultants will also benefit from taking the course to understand the decisions their clients make and the challenges they face.
